However, looking at everyone's reaction, she knew that she had achieved her goal.
Qin Yining's lips curled up and he continued, "Moreover, in a wealthy family, there has never been a rule of servants bullying the master. Even I, a 'savage', understand this principle. Presumably, all of you, who live in a prosperous family, also understand."
As soon as Qin Yining finished speaking, Zhu Mama and Ruilan led everyone to kowtow again, "Yes, we understand."
Nodding with satisfaction, Qin Yining continued, "Speaking of rules, it is a rule that I have to go to grandmother every day. It is a rule that all of you have to salute me when you see me. It is a rule that Qin Huining instigated disharmony in our family and was taught a lesson by me. It is also a rule that grandmother made us copy the 'Book of Filial Piety' together. All of you are sensible people. I don't need to explain to you what is right and wrong. "
The information revealed by his words shocked everyone.
Old madam's most beloved Huining Miss was beaten up and was only punished to copy the 'Book of Filial Piety'!
Huining Miss was beaten up and was punished to copy the 'Book of Filial Piety' together with Fourth Miss?
No one was a fool. They immediately understood that there must be a hidden story behind this matter. Huining Miss might not be as innocent as the rumors said. Moreover, old madam's heart might not not necessarily not cherish Fourth Miss.
Zhu Mama, Liu Ya, and the rest instantly understood how powerful this young lady was.
She had just returned to the residence for less than a day and had already made Huining Miss suffer such a big loss without revealing anything!
Raylan was trembling like a sieve in fear!
Huining Miss was so favored and was beaten until her face was swollen like a pig's head. However, old madam only punished Fourth Miss to copy the 'Book of Filial Piety' together! Ruilan was only a servant. If her master beat her, then so be it. Old madam's standards were so high that she wouldn't care!
Yu Xiang even said that she would complain tomorrow. Wasn't she seeking death!
Thinking of this, Ruilan hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Miss, this servant knows her mistake! In the future, I will definitely serve Miss with all my heart. I won't dare to have half a word of complaint. Otherwise, let this servant grow a seed on top of my head and directly rot into my stomach! "
Such a heavy oath showed Ruilan's sincerity, and it also shocked those who heard it. Ruilan, who used to be respected in Madam's room, was now subdued by Fourth Young Lady. How could they be stronger than Ruilan?
Everyone saluted to show their loyalty.
Qin Yining smiled and waved his hand. "Forget it. Get up. I'm only telling you this to let you know what happened. After all, my mother was instigated by Qin Huining, which caused her to quarrel with my father and return to her parents' home. This matter isn't my mother's fault. If anyone mentions it, you should know what to do. "
This sentence was an instruction for them to try their best to explain to others that Madam had been instigated by Qin Huining.
Everyone saluted and acknowledged.
Qin Yining continued, "As for Miss Yu Xiang, your ability to boil water is not as good as hers. Tonight, we'll have to trouble her. You should all learn from her. I'll still count on you to do these things in the future."
Everyone said, "Yes." But in their hearts, they all understood that the young lady meant that they were not allowed to help Yu Xiang. Moreover, the last sentence was hinting that Yu Xiang wouldn't have the chance to boil water in the future …
Qin Yining ordered everyone to leave, leaving only Ruilan to serve by his side. She picked up the weasel hair brush to recall the contents of the 'Book of Filial Piety' and began to write from memory.
Zhu Mama, Liu Ya, and Qiu Lu brought the three maidservants out of the door. They looked at each other and then looked at the smoky little kitchen. They all felt their hair stand on end at the same time.
The young lady was really too powerful. They had to be more careful in serving her in the future!
Just as everyone in Snow Pear Courtyard was in awe, the news of 'The Sun Clan and Qin Huaiyuan quarreling and Qin Huining being beaten up by Qin Yining' spread like wildfire. Every branch knew about it. Moreover, the versions of the news were different, depicting many different meanings.
**
In the dead of night, the originally quiet Duke Ding's residence suddenly became noisy.
Duchess Ding's wife, Madam Zheng, heard the servant's reply and appeased the impatient Duke Ding. She put on a jacket and went to the warm room. When she saw her daughter with red and swollen eyes, she couldn't help but frown.
"Sister Han, what are you doing?!"
The Sun Clan's daughter's name was Hai Han, and her nickname was Sister Han.
Hearing her mother's familiar voice, the Sun Clan's daughter didn't care what her mother said and cried out in grievance. She threw herself at Duchess Ding and hugged her, "Mother, you have to uphold justice for your daughter! I'm going to be bullied to death by that bastard Qin Meng! "
Duchess Ding stumbled when the Sun Clan's daughter threw herself at her. If it weren't for Mother Bao, who was serving her, who quickly supported her, the mother and daughter would have fallen to the ground together.
Duchess Ding reprimanded her unhappily, "Look at you. How old are you? You're still so careless. I look down on you! What time is it now? Instead of staying at home, you came back in the middle of the night and cried as soon as you saw me. Tell me, what's the big deal? Is the sky falling down? "
Looking at the Sun Clan's sobbing, Duchess Ding felt a headache coming on.
When she was young, she was busy taking charge of the family and wanted to be a good wife. She couldn't fall behind in the family's affairs. She was also busy teaching her son, so she only let her mother-in-law teach the girls. Who knew that her mother-in-law only knew how to dote and teach the girls to be like this?
Her daughter was so arrogant and domineering. When she was a young girl, she could be called sincere and naive. But now she was nearly forty years old, and she was still so "naive". Who could stand it? Not to mention the son-in-law, even she, as her biological mother, sometimes felt a headache coming on.
The Sun Clan originally came back to complain. Who knew that before she could say anything, she would be scolded by her mother. She felt more and more aggrieved. Fortunately, she lay on the arhat bed at the side and cried bitterly.
Duchess Ding rubbed her aching forehead.
Mother Bao immediately came forward, handed her a handkerchief, and patted her back. It wasn't easy for her to persuade the Sun Clan to stop crying.
Mother Bao brought a bowl of warm water and served the Sun Clan to drink. Then, she stepped aside.
Duchess Ding tightened her collar, and Mama Bao immediately brought a hand warmer over. Duchess Ding held the hand warmer and said slowly, "Tell me, what's wrong this time? What's the big deal that made you come back in such a hurry?"
The Sun Clan sniffled and didn't answer immediately. Instead, she held Duchess Ding's hand, "Mother, please help me!"
Duchess Ding frowned, "What's the matter? Tell me first."
"I, I want to ask you to help me find someone!"
"Who are you looking for?"
"I, I suspect that Qin Meng has a mistress outside!" Finally, she expressed her grievances. The Sun Clan spoke faster and faster, "Didn't I tell you before that Qin Meng's aides found a child who looked very similar to Qin Meng near Liang City? Today, the child was brought back. I saw her. She was indeed as handsome as he was when he was young. Qin Meng doted on her so much. But I don't think that child looks like me at all! I suspect that Qin Meng has a mistress outside, and this girl is his mistress! "
At this point, the Sun Clan stood up and said through gritted teeth, "I questioned Qin Meng today, and Qin Meng was so rude to me. Although he didn't touch me, his eyes looked as if he wanted to eat my flesh raw! He treated me like this for a girl of unknown origin! He casually brought home a girl and said that she was my daughter. Do you think I have to acknowledge her? He's dreaming! I must find out! "
Duchess Ding listened to the Sun Clan's words and pursed her lips without speaking for a long time.
Mother Bao, who was at the side, also lowered her head. She sized up Madam Sun from the corner of her eyes with an unreadable expression.
Seeing that her mother didn't speak, the Sun Clan came forward and took her hand, acting coquettishly, "Mother, please help your daughter. Ask someone to investigate whether Qin Meng has a mistress or not. It's not like I don't allow him to have a mistress. If he really has a mistress, I must ask father to teach him a lesson! Also, I want to do a blood test with that girl to see if she's really my daughter. I can't just listen to what others say! "
"Not only did you challenge the son-in-law, but you also want to investigate what mistress, and you also want to do a blood test?" Duchess Ding's voice was filled with anger.
Hearing that her voice was not right, the Sun Clan was puzzled and aggrieved, "Yes, mother, why are you so fierce!"
Duchess Ding gritted her teeth and tried to restrain herself, but she still couldn't control her temper. She threw away the hand warmer and slapped the Sun Clan in the face.
This slap was not heavy, at least not as heavy as when the Sun Clan slapped Qin Yining. However, the Sun Clan was spoiled and spoiled, and it was rare to see Duchess Ding so angry. Moreover, she was almost forty years old, and she was still slapped by her mother. She couldn't bear it in her heart, and the tears that she had just stopped fell again.
She wanted to cry, but when she saw her mother's angry look, she didn't dare to make her angry again. She just knelt upright and sobbed, looking like a little wife who had been bullied.
Seeing her like this, Duchess Ding became even angrier. She pointed at her nose and reprimanded, "Sister Han, you're not a little girl anymore. Why don't you have a brain? What kind of person is the son-in-law? Many people scramble to curry favor with him. How dare you quarrel with him? How dare you go back to your parents' home just because you said so! If you do this, where will your man's dignity go?
"You still want to investigate what mistress, and you also want to do a blood test? Do you have a brain or not? Anyone with a bit of common sense would not be able to investigate this matter! Not only can't you investigate, but you also have to acknowledge it. You have to acknowledge it happily! "
"Why?!" The Sun Clan was furious when he heard this. He straightened his neck and said, "If that wild girl is a mistress, why should I acknowledge it?!"
